Continuing the scans of the Brownhills Gazette – I present issue 44 of the long lost freesheet, from May/June 1993 for you to peruse and download. I’ve had an incredible response to featuring these long, lost publications here on the blog.
David Evans, very kindly granted access to the archive held by former editor and contributor Brian Stringer, has been assiduously and conscientiously scanning them all. Every single issue. Every few days, I’m going to feature the next in the series.
This is the lost issue 44 – May 1993 which has been generously loaned to David Evans to scan by local historian and top chap Bill Mayo, for which many thanks! (Stay tuned for some great news from Bill coming soon….)
This is a 20 page issue, with Shire Oak Quarry declared a nature reserve, a family of Karate black-belts, preparations for Brownhills Carnival, an Ogley School photo from the archives, Councillor Eardley displays his famous charm, concerns on local vandalism, a call for the pedestrianisation of Brownhills High Street, and loads more.
The history of how the Brownhills Gazette came to exist has been detailed in this post thanks to the wonderful John Sylvester.
If other bloggers want to use this material, can you please drop me a line first? I don’t mind, there’s just sone stuff I’d like to clear about the usage, thanks.
Cheers to Brian and David for sharing a wonderful thing, that’s part of our community history.

Who moderates you ? 😮
Hi.
I do.
Love

Allow me to elucidate something. It is a very rare thing that I don’t allow through a submitted comment here on the Brownhills Blog. But as the site operator, I occasionally have to dump comments that are abusive, or in other ways legally dodgy. I will not tolerate abuse, speculation about crime reports or accidents reported here.
The number of comments I’ve dumped over the six years has been less than ten.
However, if someone submits the same comment multiple times because they feel moderation isn’t fast enough, I have a rule. Twice, I only ever let the first through. Three times and I bin all of them.If you supply two comments that are the same, but vary slightly, I take the first. If you made a mistake, do drop me a note and I’ll correct any error.
I run this blog in my free time as a community resource. It is not, and never has been impartial. I invite comment. I expect it to be respectful, non-repetitive and genial. 99.5% of commenters understand this and appreciate it. I don’t provide the publication of comments as a platform for other’s personal hobbyhorses. If I’m slow to moderate, I’m slow, I’m probably doing my job or something else. I’ll get round to it shortly.
Your comment is welcomed, and so is a little patience and understanding.
As I’ve said before, I’m happy to refund the subscription fee of anyone not happy with the user experience they receive.
Best wishes
Bob
